The UK is without doubt a powerhouse of creativity in popular music... there’s been plenty of threads on this site covering excellence in a whole host of genres many of which originated in this country. You’d have no idea of that in the alternative world that is the UK in Eurovision. The best thing we could do is try a different approach and enter one of the upcoming artists who aren’t producing material for the competition but just doing their own shit. How do Great Britain pick their representative to the Final? In Sweden we have several tv shows with a bunch of artists and bands with a people voting procedure by phone each time, once a week. Then to the final goes two artists/bands from each tv show. And in our final both international jurys and the swedish people vote, a two-step voting procedure. I don't know who's picking the songs for each tv show here, but everyone of us can send their contribution on a disc or file to them in September the year before if they want to. ESC really is an alternative world, I agree on that! Me personally listen to almost anything, genres and sub-genres. And I'm still waiting for that special song in the ESC, the one I would actually buy. It hasn't happened yet. Will it ever happen?

Serbia was good for other reasons. 😛

Ahaa ... now I see, looked at You Tube, the song from Greece.🙂

It's Azerbaijan for me, purely on the strength of their Kali-like choreography and naming their song after a WW1 spy. But I'm tipping Ukraine or Iceland as surprise winners. not the bookie's favourite Italy.
Ours is pretty shite as usual - I'll guess less than 40 points.

Any one watching the scenes in Rotterdam tomorrow night? Kitsch and camp. Well most countries offerings are but we've gone for the budget option, a roly-poly bloke from Yorkshire who looks more like a roadie! 'Good luck with that' as they say

There are only two songs that do it for me, meaning they get stuck inside my head and I remember everything about them, and that's Sweden and France.

I reckon if we sent the best and most internationally popular modern day British singer or band (I haven't got a clue who that might be by the way), with the best ever song, we still wouldn't win.

Belguim entry - in the wrong place is correct - it is so much better than the disco trash which are most entries.
Russia got a Russia doll how many inside her at least entertaining.
James Newman will be in the last quartile, sadly a poor song.
